Coming off of the humiliation at Anfield, Manchester United return to Europa league action this night where they will be welcoming Real Betis to Old Trafford for the first leg of their round of 16 tie. Having eliminated Barcelona in the last round of Europa league and won the EFL Cup ending their 6-year trophy drought, Manchester United were thoroughly trounced last weekend by Liverpool to record their worst defeat in the Premier league history. They will be looking to bounce back from that nightmare. Meanwhile, Real Betis will be hoping to continue their impressive form of lately as they travel to Old Trafford. It will be a cagey match. Manchester United are going to struggle with this in form Real Betis. Even if they should succeed to get one over Real Betis, I do not see Manchester United winning this encounter by more than one goal difference. These are my reasons:

Firstly. The form of both Teams. Manchester United have impressive home record since the turn of the year. In the same vein, Real Betis have same impressive away record during same period. And both teams have been on a good form recently, bar the mauling received by Manchester United last weekend. Meanwhile Real Betis impressively held off Real Madrid, the current European and World champion, to record a 0-0 draw with them last weekend. Manchester United and Real Betis have almost similar record in the Europa league. Both have not lost in their 7 most recent fixtures in the Europa league. I see Manchester United struggling to break this Real Betis side. Real Betis have been known to score, while they concede. Their last two losses were by a goal margin, and they managed to score in both.

Secondly. The mentality and mindset of Manchester United. After conceding 7 goals last weekend without scoring any, their focus might be on fixing their defence. Considering that Real Betis are known for scoring high number of goals in their previous matches. Manchester United will be desperate not to concede in this game. This could end up making it a very tight match, with maybe just a goal being scored.

I am going to go all in and give Real Betis a +1.5 handicap win over Mancheter United.

在安菲尔德的耻辱过后，曼联今晚将回到欧联杯，他们将在老特拉福德迎接皇家贝蒂斯，进行16强的首回合比赛。曼联在欧联杯上一轮淘汰了巴萨，并赢得了足总杯，结束了他们6年的冠军荒。上周末，曼联被利物浦彻底击败，创下了他们在英超历史上的最大败绩。他们将寻求从噩梦中恢复过来。与此同时，皇家贝蒂斯希望在做客老特拉福德的比赛中继续保持他们令人印象深刻的状态。这将是一场谨小慎微的比赛。曼联将会和皇家贝蒂斯一样挣扎。即使他们能成功战胜皇家贝蒂斯，我也不认为曼联能以超过一个净胜球的优势赢下这场比赛。以下是我的理由:

首先。两队的形式。自年初以来，曼联的主场战绩令人印象深刻。同样，皇家贝蒂斯在同一时期也有同样令人印象深刻的客场战绩。两支球队最近的状态都很好，除了上个周末受到曼联的攻击。与此同时，皇家贝蒂斯令人印象深刻地阻止了现任欧洲和世界冠军皇家马德里，并在上周末以0-0战平。曼联和皇家贝蒂斯在欧联杯的战绩几乎相似。这两支球队在最近的7场欧联杯比赛中都没有输球。我看到曼联正在努力击败皇家贝蒂斯。皇家贝蒂斯以进球而闻名，但他们也有失球。他们最近的两次输球都是净胜球，而且他们都取得了进球。

其次。曼联的心态和心态。在上个周末丢了7球却一球未进之后，他们的重点可能是修复他们的防守。考虑到皇家贝蒂斯在之前的比赛中以进了很多球而闻名。曼联将不顾一切地在这场比赛中不失球。这可能会导致一场非常激烈的比赛，也许只会进一个球。

我将全力以赴，让皇家贝蒂斯以+1.5的障碍战胜曼联。
